Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the New Sweden Colony in North America, which was founded by Swedish colonists in 1638. The coin's design features an image of King Carl XIV Gustaf, who ruled Sweden from 1818 to 1844, and the reverse side features a depiction of the colonists arriving in North America. The coin's gold, silver, and copper composition is also symbolic of the rich natural resources of the New Sweden Colony.
